Finish question...

I have an SX fretless that I'm thinking of stripping down.

There's a picture. It has one of those filmed tops... Is this going to present any kind of problem when stripping it down? I don't know how it exactly works, but I'm sure one of you do. Is it printed on the wood, or is it on paper which is cleared over?

Thanks in advance. :thumb:

It's like a linolium (sp?) laminate. Like a kitchen floor. Why do you want to refinish it?

I don't like the look of it. It looks so fake. That, and I'd like to get into building instruments someday. I have a background in painting, so I figured it'd be a cool thing to do.
